SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my 2.6" ASP WAC Corporal kit has arrived and assembly will begin shortly. I haven't seen a build thread for this kit so I figured I would try my hand at one. I am planning a few minor deviations from the directions, but nothing crazy. I am going to replace the 1/4" lugs with rail buttons, likely going to replace the elastic with tubular nylon and will also add a Kevlar chute' protector. I am also not 100% sure about the cable shock cord mount; that may be replaced with a longer Kevlar solution. Finally I plan to permanently mount the 29mm adapter to the MMT and add an Aeropack retainer. The kit will be well under 30oz when complete and flight ready. With the number of 29mm motors on the market I will have plenty of options for VERY respectable flights. Also, the idea of using an adapter for 99% of my flights isn't my style. This is also why I'm posting this in the 'mid-power' sections as the vast majority of her flights will fall in the G to "baby H" range.
This build will be taking place along side a few others (note the High Flyer XL) in the background (it will be strengthened to take advantage of the Aerotech 24/60 case) and I also have an Aerotech Arreaux on the way. But I digress...
Adhesives will be hobby epoxy, so nothing crazy there, and finishing will be rattle can primer and satin white & black.
Stay tuned as I anticipate good things!!!
